My mom is suffering from dementia from last two and a half years. Initially she stammerred while speaking now she has stopped speaking now. She had stopped taking food and was completely on liquid diet.
Now she has even stopped taking food. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and what could be the cause.
Doctors say this is the last stage. Her skin is getting dry and she is facing difficulty is swallowing.

Hello
My mum isn't quite at that stage but she is losing words and going down hill. I do feel for you it's all so sad. I can't really advise on stages but I hope someone will reply with some information for you. Best wishes

mum much the same up until Saturday she had stopped eating and surviving on protein drinks.When i visited her the nurses were saying that she had eaten breakfast.
Not sure if this is a one off or again another part of the rollercoaster ride.
Just need to know why and what next
